Purpose: The purpose of the Alternate Care Site Toolkit is to support the creation of ACS that meet the needs of individuals with functional needs. Toolkit Description: This tool is an online interactive organizational chart with links to the specific forms, responsibilities, and additional information on each role within the organizational framework. It was designed following the completion of an exercise to test full scale deployment of an Alternate Care Site during a fictional medical surge situation. As a result, this tool is tailored to help plan for the creation of an alternate care site. Who should use it?: The Alternate Care Site Toolkit is intended to be used by public health officials, hospital leaders, EMS, emergency managers, and fire officials during ACS planning meetings. Benefits: By aiding healthcare agencies in establishing alternate care sites, this tool supports the planning for alternate care sites benefiting populations with specific needs such as, but not exclusive to children, communication-challenged individuals, persons with medical conditions, and persons functionally at-risk for independence.
